is it all worth it?

my car is 4 wheel drum, with the small lug pattern...again i do like it, and i personally dont have a problem with the front end (i was previously a huge fan of the old goats, so its common to me) but i got the car for 800, but paid the shop (by my girlfiends order not mine) 1650 to flush the fuel, new battery, water pump, thermostat, radiator, harmonic balencer, all new tires, light switch, starter solinoid, and a few randome hoses and what not...so there is NO WAY im getting looked at for anything close to what i have in, if i were to sell the car and get a diff body
